Who ever in the hearthstone team came up with this pos card should be shown the door. Card is complete garbage.
This card needs to be changed, its unacceptable of a class legend to be this unplayable. This card isn't even that good in arena because it still hits your stuff and can kill your board if drawn at the wrong time. If it was changed to a battlecry deal 2 damage to all characters that would be fine, not great but at least playable, but that fact that it triggers on draw just makes it too random to be put into any constructed deck. Also seeing it triggers on being drawn means that it can kill you when an ice block is up. This card needs a change, the only idea i have is 7 mana for a 7/7 with battlecry deal 2 damage to all other characters, deathrattle deal 2 damage to all characters. Sure it still wouldn't be the best but if you look at it as 2 damage when it hits and then 2 damage as it leaves its 4 damage overall so its kind of a delayed flamestrike.... kind of. Plus it would kill the BGH that killed it and thats just nice in my opinion.
I had the "fortune" to draw this card a SECOND time from a random pack. I've only pulled 3 legendaries from GvG packs and this card was two of them.
Jesus christ me too, two of these and 2 Neptulons
Never knew that card existed, just got a Golden One, and i look at the text. I already have Baron Geddon, which is bad , but better than this trash. I had too options. DE or wait for blizzard to change this card. Well ...only a retard would keep the worst legendary in gold form. So i DE and got DR Boom !!!!
Baron Geddon is far from bad, lol.
Control Warriors use that cards and its very effective.
So what happens if you get this in your opening hand? Does the game just start at 28 life instead of 30 and you're just sitting there with a war golem in your hand? LOL I just don't understand this card in general though. I mean what makes good board clear is that you can choose when you use it. You're not gonna use flame strike when there's one guy on the field, are you? So the way i see it is this card has a better chance to do absolutely nothing or completely fuck you over rather than help you and there's just nothing you can do about it. Granted there may be those times when you get a really nice board clear from this, but I just feel it's way too inconsistent.
Does the card text trigger if drawn from Unstable Portal?Thoughtsteal? Mind Vision? etc?
Battlecry; Gain 400 dust and destroy this card.
LOL +1
Considering how this card would be without the 'draw-and-nuke' function, this would be a reasonable card. Mage decks could use another high cost, good drop card (other than Pyroblast, because who wants to use that?), seeing as they have few. But when you draw it it's sort of a giveaway of what card you just got, as well as when you play it, it can kill your own minions. If they at least made it so that it'd be a battlecry it'd be somewhat better, or made it so it'd kill the enemy's minions instead of your own. Otherwise, as it is, this is a pretty bad card, and I've seen a few mage decks hurt themselves instead of me with it.
This card is meant for miracle freeze mage. Your only minions could be this card,Archmage Antonidas,Alexstrasza, Acolyte of Pain, Explosive Sheep, and maybe some Water Elementals and Sludge Belchers. The rest is removal + freeze + secrets. Maybe a Mad Scientist or two. oh and Snowchugger
Granted, the deck would be fine without Flame Leviathan, but would you really mind an extra 2 damage to your opponent's face and a potential board clear? If you run a small number of minions, you're in good shape.
Full disclosure, I got this card in a pack and disenchanted it because I don't have ice blocks or alexstrasza. I did have some fun with it before I watched it go.
Sure, it makes sense in a freeze mage with few minions. One problem: anti-synergy with ice block...
This card is terrible. I was up against a mage earlier toward the end game, and he drew this card. It killed 3 of his 4 remaining minions and pretty much handed me the game. It shows it to your opponent which I guess makes sense, because you'll know they drew it anyways. This card just seems way too situational, and you can't control the effect unless you count lucking out with an Arcane Intellect. 0/10 utter shit.
I only buy 40 packs for every adventure/expansion and play for gold to buy the rest, got 3 legendaries in those 40 and 2 of them were Flame Leviathan ._.
You should be happy to get so much free dust. I bought 48 packs and got only 1 legendary which was FL.
Ugh. If this were a battlecry, it would actually be okay.
I think if it had it's current ability in addition to a Battlecry that did the same thing (except not hitting itself), it'd be a much better card. At least then it wouldn't be a generic 7/7 if you got it in your opening hand.
It'd also make for some epic plays if you drew it, did 2 damage to everything, then played it doing another 2 damage. It would clear the board of most minions leaving you with a 7/7 in play.
This is very bad card but mage has got a lot of good card from gvg anyway.
